Object storage optimization
In this section, we will cover different strategies and ideas on how to achieve cost optimization when using object storage services. In the case of object storage, we have multiple ways to optimize our costs, as it offers many features, but we must also be mindful of how these features can skyrocket our cloud bills as well. Let’s begin by understanding how to make the most of one of its most important features, which is data temperature tiers.
Object storage tiering
As we already introduced for file storage, one of the key offerings of object storage is a set of storage classes, or data temperature tiers, that are offered to store our information.
In object storage, we have available hot storage classes on which we expect a lot of read/writes, as well as cold classes more suitable for storing files that are rarely accessed. The extreme of cold tiers are archiving offerings that we can use to store files for years at the lowest cost possible...
